Unity support is one of several changes making up the latest release of lightweight web browser Midori.
Midori 0.4.0: Notable Changes
We’ll begin this run down with the one part of Midori you probably see more than you care to: the crash dialog.
In Midori 0.4.0 this has received a birrova overhaul, with nicely placed options for ‘discarding, loading or delaying’ your last open tabs placed along the bottom.
Navigating to ‘the next page’ on Google search (not that anyone goes past page 1 ;)), Forums and other sites with a ‘next’ link is a breeze in this update: just hit the space bar. Alternatively you’re free to press the ‘Forward’ button now present in the taskbar.
Unity users will welcome the addition of Quicklist items for opening a new tab, a new window or switching to private browsing.
If privacy is a concern you’ll now find a ‘Last open tabs’ item in the Clear Private Data dialog.

Installing Midori 0.4.0 in Ubuntu 10.04 through 11.04
Midori is available to install in Ubuntu 10.04 through 11.04 Natty Narwhal via the official Midori PPA. In order to use this PPA you also have to add the webkit team PPA.
Both can be added in Ubuntu by running the following command via a Terminal: –
- sudo add-apt-repository ppa:midori/ppa && sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webkit-team/ppa
Or by adding ‘ppa:midori/ppa’ and ‘ppa:webkit-team/ppa’ to your Software Sources separately.
Once both PPAs have been added you simply need to run an update/refresh before installing Midori. We’ve made this last part easy: just hit the shiny button we’ve placed below: –
